An insert for a multiple component container includes a diaphragm and a sealing element which together define a reservoir. The diaphragm includes a stationary portion and a movable portion. The movable portion is connected to the stationary portion by at least two spaced annular fold lines of opposite sense. A discharge opening is formed in the movable portion within the annular fold lines. A gas leakage path is provided in the diaphragm. A valve member is connected to the stationary portion and cooperates with the discharge opening and substantially seals it. If a great gas pressure is applied to the interior of the reservoir than to its exterior, this results in rotational movement about the fold lines and thus in movement of the movable portion away from the stationary portion and thus in the valve member moving out of sealing contact with the flow opening. Any liquid in the reservoir is then expelled through the discharge opening by the higher pressure prevailing within the reservoir.
An insert for a multiple component container, said insert including a diaphragm to define a reservoir having an open top, said diaphragm including a stationary portion and a movable portion, said movable portion being connected to said stationary portion by at least two spaced annular fold lines of opposite sense, a discharge opening being formed in said movable portion within said annular fold lines, a gas leakage path being provided in said diaphragm, a valve member connected to said stationary portion and cooperating with said discharge opening and substantially sealing it, whereby the application of a greater gas pressure to the interior of said reservoir than to its exterior results in rotational movement about the fold lines and thus in movement of said movable portion relative to said stationary portion and thus in said valve member moving out of sealing contact with said flow opening.
